WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Top notch service and support from Cynthia. She is very knowledgeable of all areas in and around Las Vegas. In a very tight, difficult market she worked hard to find us the right opportunities. When it came to offer and closing, her support was great. Knowledgeable, service oriented, competent, and a nice person. She's tops in our books.

I have sold and purchased five homes and can say without a doubt that Cynthia was the best agent I ever worked with. Her attention to detail, responsiveness and negotiation skills are excellent. She did a very good job in working with my wife and I on what we were looking for in the transaction and meeting our needs from marketing to closing. I would highly recommend her.

Cynthia was a pleasure to work with during the recent sale of our home in Henderson, NV. She was friendly, professional and quick to respond to any questions we had. She has a wealth of real estate knowledge to help with all the decisions needed to list and sell your property. And did I mention how nice she is?

OUR TEAM

will we save money by listing our property ourselves?

Do you believe your property would sell at a fixed price, or do you believe that it would sell in a range of prices based on the marketing, photography, real estate brand and negotiation skills of your agent? Having a professional, licensed and trained sales associate advocating for and marketing your property ensures a smooth transaction and for the highest market value possible.

will you cut your commission?

No. It makes me nervous if another agent has agreed to this. Why? If an agent is not able to communicate their value and stand up for their own worth, how strong will they be in negotiating the value of your property?

can we list for only 30/90 days?

In order to best market your property with digital, print and experiential advertising, our minimum listing period is 6 months. My recommendation is a year agreement so that you are included in Sotheby’s International Realty’s global media plan. This stategic plan drives qualified buyers from our key feeder markets.

is it better to use a friend in the business?

In today’s market, almost everyone knows one or two people who work in real estate. Ask yourself if you’re considering working with your friend as a favor to them or if your goal is to hire an aggressive sales agent who leverages their skill, experience and brand to get top dollar for your property.
